The Haitian ambassador to Peru is the highest representative of the Republic of Haiti to the Republic of Peru. The ambassador is accredited from Santiago,[1] formerly resident in Lima prior to the 1991 Haitian coup d'état.
Background
Relations between both countries were established in the 20th century, elevated to embassy level on August 26, 1955.[2] Both countries maintained resident diplomatic missions during this period until the 1990s, when the Peruvian embassy in the Haitian capital closed a few days prior to the 1991 Haitian coup d'état,[3] with the embassy in Lima also closing soon after. Peru is since accredited to Haiti from its embassy in Santo Domingo, and has an honorary consulate in Port-au-Prince.[4]
A small number of Haitians live in Peru,[5] with most of them aiming to reach neighbouring countries instead of staying there.[6][7] Meanwhile, blue helmets make up a significant part of Peruvian presence in Haiti.[8]
